No surprise given Roughy and Buddy and co were at the MCG on Friday night. I suspect even if we offered an extension he has had enough of the MFC clusterfluck he has witnessed this year. I would love to hear his real thoughts on how we have ended up where we are.

    Has been an excellent deal for the club.Many have criticised him at times but the real criticism rests in the fact that in years 2 and 3 no player pushed him out of the side.

    Thanks Jordan

    Will be as big of a loss as Losing Vince was. Hope we pickup some seasoned players this off season

    He’ll end up having played 319 games at an average of 21 games a season, it’s an amazing effort. I was super stoked when we got him and hope he stays on in a coaching capacity. Thanks for your service Jordan.

     Well played Jordan Lewis. Hope some of our boys are jealous and strive to be as successful as Lewis. Thanks for your service Jordan.

    For what it's worth, I always liked him, as a person and as a footballer. Wish him luck in whatever he chooses to do in the future.

    A big thank you to JL.  He came to the club and added real value on and off the field.  He retires a legend of the game, and a valued contributor to the MFC.  Sorry we couldn’t get you a flag this year, Jordie.

    Suspect he'll  say all all the right things and find his way to Dingley

    Maybe not. Might bring his best mate across to work in List Management and other areas, while he is an Assistant Coach.

    Then again he may go off to his Winery and do some Media as well.

    I wished that we had Jordan at the start of his career the type of person that would have been a leader of our club with his professionalism which we needed in our years of misery. 

    Hoping that he stays on as a full time assistant coach.

    His First year was fantastic and helped build some much needed culture experience. I think his last 2 years have been just ok, but its the bigger picture stuff, and i love whenever a player with great experience and great success says they want to come to our club. its the greatest publicity you can get.

    Thanks Jordy, while i think you will always be a Hawk, once a Demon, always a Demon.

    he played down back and organised our defence

    he played in the vfl and organised the midfield

    he played up forward and organised our forward set-up

    we'll miss him as he's one of very few 'football brains' that we have on our side

    Thank you Jordan for your hard work and impact at the club, you wore the red and blue proudly and with distinction.

    Great pickup for virtually nothing.  Nominated our club and got us up to the preliminary in 2018.  Great bloke on and off the field.  Leadership and good footy brain. A true champion.

    Media.  Coaching.  Relaxing.  Whatever 2020 brings, he has had a great career.  Hope he remembers his last few years with the Dees and might be back one day.

    That is true, I still respect his opinion on team direction and actual circumstances. I'd give him the nod to replace Goodwin, if it were a possibility - he'd be a really good brain and must have heaps of insight either side of the fence.

    Lewis' MFC experience (alongside his incredible career at Whoreform) places him in the perfect position (if he is interested) to immediately replace Goodwin - full stop. All of the wrongs of all possibilities have been witnessed, mulled upon, tolerated and manipulated to some extent on-field player-to-player, and at the training track, being loyally supportive of the Club, and humble yet professionally astute with mentoring/instructing despite his own physical ageing and recent shortcomings. His mind and his communication are ideal for the job of MFC Coach and who better to right the wrongs of 2019?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
